What is your eating philosophy?

You wake up and immediately begin making decisions about food.  Whether to eat now or later?  What kind of coffee to have?  Should I have coffee at all? Is decaf better?  Is it better to eat something first?  When I eat what should I have?  What kind of protein?  Fruit or no fruit?  Smoothie or banana bread?
​
It’s estimated we make 200 decisions a day regarding food. When you are trying to change your life, health, or body, these choices can be overwhelming. Ultimately, however, your choices determine your outcome.  So, it’s important that we make it easier to make good choices for ourselves by creating a framework of how we nourish ourselves.

Creating an eating philosophy is a huge help. An eating philosophy is built around 1 - how you want to feel; 2- your wellness goals; and 3, your likes, dislikes, and habits. When creating your philosophy all three are important. We create from where we are now looking at where we want to go.

Your eating philosophy is tailor made meaning it has to be rooted in you and needs to fit like a well formed garment.  So, if you have date night or a regular food ritual or something you can’t give up that you think you should - remember there are no shoulds that come from outside you - you want your framework to be your guidance in all situations.  

I will be hosting a workshop on Saturday, September 18th at 11am  on creating your eating philosophy for yourself at jolie.  

To get you started, begin to write down what foods, habits, and food routines make you feel best.  Note areas of challenge, confusion, or frustration.  If you can, notice triggers for positive action as well as triggers that lead to food choices you regret or that are not aligned with your goals.
All the above is vital information to use to create your eating philosophy. Then, look at when you like to eat, what you like yourself to eat, and what times or situations are challenging.  
With this we begin to create your food philosophy.  Join us on Saturday to create your own framework from start to finish to help you soar through fall into the holidays.

Love,
Julia
